Yes, definitely. I can speak from experience, with multiple duties to warn issued against me.
One of the problems we see is that there is very little information on where the threat is coming from, so you don't really know what to look out for. There are very few resources provided when it comes to direction as to how you can safeguard yourself. There are simple things, like getting a security camera and being aware of your surroundings, but when you have somebody from law enforcement telling you that you have an imminent threat of assassination against your life, those are not things that are going to protect anyone living in Canada, as we saw in the case of my friend, Mr. Nijjar, who also received the same warning, with me, in July 2022.
What we'd like to see is actually going deeper. Why does this risk persist in the first place? We feel like an inquiry to actually understand India is what's needed first. The safeguarding is really just putting band-aids on a bleeding wound that won't stop right now, with what India is doing. An inquiry will go deep enough into the situation to understand how deeply India has penetrated into Canada and where in our electoral systems, in our academia, in our media and in our politics they're interfering. I think that's the only way to understand them and then be able to counter them. I think the rest of it is really band-aid solutions.
The law enforcement agencies don't have the ability to put cars in front of people's homes 24-7. I have two years of duties to warn that are persisting. To expect the Canadian government or the law enforcement agencies to station multiple officers with me at all times is just not feasible for this country and it shouldn't have to happen.
I think we need to go to the root of the problem versus the band-aid solutions, which will just maybe keep people safe for the time being, but they are not getting to the actual cause of the whole situation, which is India.
